Munson Lecture Series

Educational First Steps was initiated by David Munson, a Dallas philanthropist and oil and gas investor. In 1990, Mr. Munson, along with his wife, Mona, Sandra Estess, and former Dallas ISD Superintendent Linus Wright and his wife Joyce, formed Educational First Steps. Mr. Munson’s vision lives on today as we pay tribute to him through the naming of the launch of our virtual lecture series.

The inaugural Munson Lecture Series included a steller group of speakers listed below. We look forward to announcing our upcoming lineup of speakers for the second annual Munson Lecture Series in fall 2021.
